The Sacramento Kings play a significant role in the kickoff of All-Star weekend. Every year, the festivities begin on Friday night with two events. The first is the celebrity game followed by the Rising Stars (Formerly the rookies vs. sophomores) game. The Kings have three players slated to take the court on Feb. 16 for the 2018 Mountain Dew Kickstart Rising Stars Game. Today, we will first a take a look at how to watch the game and then preview the game by taking a look at each King participating.
It is worth noting, Sacramento has not had a player in this contest since Isaiah Thomas in 2013.
